A Strange Chimera: The Prog/Wave Hybrid pt. 2 – Robert Fripp
Yesterday I discussed how Peter Gabriel made a transition from Prog Rock to New Wave in the late 70s. Crucial to his path were the contributions of Robert Fripp, both as sideman and producer. Fripp was the lead guitarist in … Continue reading
